Most participants had no measurable UVA1-MED even after commencing high doses such as 130 J cm . Only a minority of participants (14%) may develop UVA1-induced erythema in the low- and medium-dose region. Hence, it appears to be safe to start UVA1 phototherapy with 20 J cm of UVA1 and continue with subsequent daily dose increments of 10 J cm , up to the desired maximum dose.
We describe emergomycosis in a patient in Uganda with HIV infection. We tested a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin biopsy to identify
Emergomyces pasteurianus
or a closely related pathogen by sequencing broad-range fungal PCR amplicons. Results suggest that emergomycosis is more widespread and genetically diverse than previously documented. PCR on tissue blocks may help clarify emergomycosis epidemiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
